Vancouver, British Columbia — April 11, 2024 — Dryden Gold Corp. [TSXV: DRY] (“Dryden Gold” or the “Company”) is pleased to announce that the Company was approved for a CAD $200,000 grant from the government of Ontario under the Ontario Junior Exploration Program (“OJEP”). The OJEP program is designed to promote exploration with Junior Explorers in Ontario. Eligible companies can receive up to $200,000 per project to cover up to 50% of the exploration costs of a program. This grant will be used by Dryden Gold on the Gold Rock Camp exploration program.
Maura Kolb, President of Dryden Gold states “The OJEP is a great program for Junior Explorers like us! The additional funding from the Ontario Government allows us to do more on the ground exploration which is needed to make new discoveries in Ontario. We are very appreciative of being awarded the maximum funding of $200,000 which goes towards our exploration of the Gold Rock Camp, near Dryden Ontario”.
Minister of Mines George Pirie said “Through our government’s investments in exploration, we are supporting the most critical part of the supply chain and strengthening our mining industry so we can capitalize on this generational opportunity to fuel the future. Our plan, backed by strategic investments like this one, will help drive economic development, secure domestic supply chains and create jobs across the province, especially in northern and Indigenous communities.”
Dryden Gold is committed to sustainable exploration in Northwestern Ontario, using local talent and services to explore for high grade gold mineralization.
